2026/01/18

A surefire 2026 Oscars contender, Ryan Coogler's Sinners has many obvious parallels with From Dusk Till Dawn, which turns 30 on January 18th. Join me for a deep dive.

My #2016Challenge

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2026/01/17

2016 was something of a "best of times/worst of times" type of year. What did I learn from it as it was ongoing, and what do I take from it in 2026?

"Three Essentials": Clint Eastwood

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2026/01/15

The first in our new series titled "Three Essentials" centers on Clint Eastwood, and why I think The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Dirty Harry, and In the Line of Fire are the three movies to watch/rewatch to understand how and why Clint Eastwood became "Clint Eastwood."

The Wedding Singer Turns 28 😫😭

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2026/01/13

OTD, 1998: The Wedding Singer premieres in NYC. Adam Sandler is solid, but the immensely likable Drew Barrymore makes the movie. Also, I literally can't believe that this movie is 28 years old.

Resolutions for 2026

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2026/01/07

It's true that the first days and weeks of January see an influx of new gym members. IMHO "New Year's Resolutions" should be retitled "Resolutions." Change doesn't happen overnight. Stay the course long enough for a mindset shift to occur, to where fitness becomes a part of your life, not something you're trying out in January.

2025/12/26

Released December 26, 1940, George Cukor's marvelous screwball comedy features Katharine Hepburn as society gal Tracy Lord and James Stewart's Oscar-winning turn as reporter Macauley Connor, but Cary Grant steals the film as society gent C.K. Dexter Haven.

2025/12/21

Happy 59th birthday, Kiefer Sutherland! The son of a legend (Donald) carved his own distinctive path, giving life to 24's Jack Bauer, The Lost Boys' David, Dark City's Dr. Schreber -- one of his own favorites from his career -- and later touring Europe with an indie band in the fascinating documentary I Trust You to Kill Me.

Michael Mann's sensational "Los Angeles Crime Saga" opened December 15, 1995 to widespread critical acclaim and enormous boxoffice. As we speak Mann is preparing a sequel, set to star Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Austin Butler, Bradley Cooper, Ana De Armas, possibly Al Pacino, and others.

Rob Reiner, 1947-2025 😢

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2025/12/15

Still in a state of shock. Rob Reiner was a fantastic film producer and filmmaker, AFTER having been a brilliant sitcom star as actor. These are my (hopefully coherent) thoughts on his career and he and wife Michele's tragic deaths.

Rob Reiner's strong adaptation of Aaron Sorkin's smash-hit Broadway play opened in the U.S. on December 11, 1992. Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, J.T. Walsh, and Kevin Bacon are solid; Jack Nicholson puts the movie on his back and runs away with it.
